Daily Market Outlook, November 15, 2022
“Asian equity markets are mixed overnight, following a weak close on Wall Street snapping a three session winning streak. The stand out performer is the Hang Seng in Hong Kong which has now achieved a 25% gain from its lows, the easing in US/China relations and liquidity provision by Chinese authorities has significantly boosted sentiment in Hong Kong equities, however, data overnight from China came in weaker than expected with retail sales falling to 0.7% and industrial production also missing expectations, while Japan’s economy also confirmed broader economic concerns, with GDP contracting to 0.3% quarter over quarter. For the trading day ahead focus in the Eurozone will be on Q3 GDP data, markets expect a meager growth of 0.2% quarter over quarter. German ZEW investors survey is also released this morning and it is expected to remain at depressed levels, however, the recent pull back in wholesale gas prices may offer some glimmer of positivity, market watchers expect the print to show a small improvement from the prior months -59.2. Stateside focus is firmly on producer price inflation, markets are looking for some increase in inventory build up for vendors, as this is cleared by discounting, it is hoped this will feed into a reduction in price inflation. Fed member Harker is also set to speak this afternoon, after Fed Deputy Chair Brainards slightly more constructive comments regarding the rate path yesterday, traders will parse Harker’s comments for additional confirmation of a potential reduction in rate rises in coming meetings...”
